Posted January 16, 2019 Hey's fellas! Been out of the PC world for a few years and my PC is terribly outdated. Did you know they have i9s and 2080s now?! what the heck! Anyway I've been saving up some money (a lot of money) and this is my new build list. I just wanted your guys opinion on it. If I could save money and keep performance and if everything will be compatible and will hold up with my idea of "trying" to future proof my PC for as long as possible within my $4000 price range. Also hopefully I haven't forgotten a crucial part, finished the build and forgot RAM was a thing.. Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming OC 8GB be quiet! Pure Power 11 700W CM Power Supply Intel Core i7 9700K Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite Gaming Motherboard Western Digital WD Black 4TB WD4005FZBX Samsung 860 EVO 2.5in SATA SSD 1TB Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB SE Premium Mid Tower Case Corsair LL140 RGB 140mm Independent RGB PWM Fan x 6 Corsair Hydro Series H80i 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro CMW16GX4M2C3000C15 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 Final price: $3966 (AUD) $2858 (USD) $3787 (CAD) Cheers guys! hopefully my formatting isn't too bad!

Posted January 16, 2019 well it is compatible ... will you ever consider amd? that would be 30~40% cheaper roughly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 16, 2019 if you are dropping large sums of money on a build, i would highly suggest waiting for Zen 2 in Q2/Q3 (May is most probable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 16, 2019 6 fans ? Why you would need that much, your system can easily have already good flow with just 3 case fans 4 optimally. Do you need it to be RGB ? Are you going to overclock your system(GPU/CPU) ? I don't really advise you taking Aorus products as their software is...kinda bad, ASUS is a better choice if you're going to spend that big bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 16, 2019 And I don't know how much that beQuite PSU cost, but I don't think you don't really need a 700w unit if you are not going to run an X299 system or runs multi GPUs. A very nice 550w to 600w would be more than enough if that could save you a few dollars for something else matters. Like the EVGA supernova G3 650, or the Corsair RMx, they are made by OEM much better than FSB (the maker or the be quite). Like, go for a nvme SSD from the SATA SSD. Or maybe consider a 240mm AIO for the cpu for much better overclocking headroom (or lower rpm for lower noise), it also looks better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 16, 2019 With Zen 2 based 3rd gen Ryzen (from AMD, if you aren't aware) matching 9900k with an also 8 core 16 thread engineering sample CPU, it's hard to dump money on Intel... but 3rd gen Ryzen won't be coming till at least summer so that's sad.

Yeah I was actually wondering about that, I'll change the PSU to a cheaper one and check out the SSD, do you think the nvme is better than SATA? thanks Type 2501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(recent development circa 2017-18) and currently they are on track to be beaten by Zen 2 in the consumer space Q2-Q3 this year. the next actually exiting thing Intel releases will be in 2020 though debetable when in 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the ASUS Prime Z390-A? Okay thanks for the information GoldenLag, Think i might stick with Intel though!

Im just advicing according to current market. Personally i think its unwise but its a nice CPU regardless. 4 minutes ago, Daannnyy said: Could you reccomend a similar price ASUS board?

Id go with any of the Z390 boards from MSI and if you feel like throwing money at people, the MSI MEG Godlike series os currently the best of the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it ALOT! What a long ass name albeit it seems like a great motherboard, a beast actually, it misses a heatsink of one of the m.2 but that's not a problem. The price is for enthusiast so it's not cheap but you wont' mistake with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 16, 2019 50 minutes ago, Daannnyy said: what do you think about the MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon AC AFAIK, it is a very solid board, with BOIS good enough (always a week point of MSI) and very strong vrm. If you like the look of it, go for it. 1 hour ago, Daannnyy said: do you think the nvme is better than SATA Nvme SSD runs on PCIe, unlike sata that split from the chipset, so it can reach speed 2x than SATA drive. Though the speed increase is only noticeable when you are loading large files (like editing 40mb RAW in LR, or editing 4k video that store in the nvme drive). And since it didn't need extra cables to connect to the MB (and PSU), it also makes your build looks cleaner. But sure it will cost more, but I still recommend it if you can afford one with useable capacity for future providing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have a inferior bios and better VRM's than the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bios isn't as polished as Asus but they have far better VRM's at the same price point. The MSI boards are also pretty good but I think they also fall behind on the bios when compared to Asus. The Gaming Pro Carbon is solid though if you prefer that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
